BangBangNik Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Looking at selling my .22 in order to upgrade, if I went down the route of a face to face sale is it just a case of checking the buyer has an open slot for both the rifle and mod on their ticket, filling in the details then notifying both my issuing force and the buyer's of the sale? Thanks in advance Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Yes, with the exception you notify your licensing authority, the buyer notifies theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 And don't forget to send in your ticket and a 1 for 1 variation asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangNik Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks for the replies. I'll be sending my licence off for the variation straight away as I will want to go shopping again ASAP. I assume I just fill out the variation form saying I'm disposing of one rifle plus mod and on the same form apply for a rifle and mod of the same caliber?

ladyjack Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 i thought variation was for different calibre not the same one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangNik Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Think you can do a one for one variation for the same caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Think you can do a one for one variation for the same caliber I did a one for one variation and had a .17 HMR after selling a .22LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftycarper Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 One for one don't cost anything I believe, might be wrong though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Make sure you check the buyers ID by looking at the buyers photo and make sure that the buyers ticket is current . I nearly sold a gun to a buyer and saw that his ticket was 7 months out of date . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't think a variation has to be like for like - more like anything off and replace it with anything else - so you still end up with the same amount of firearms when you complete eventually acquire it/them.

Scully Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) A variation attracts a fee, as it is considered an addition. A 1 for 1 is 'one off, one on', and is free as it isn't an addition. A disposal doesn't attract a fee as it isn't an addition, and is the only instance in which licensing don't ask for the return of your license, for some reason, even though in theory, it is a variation in the sense of the term. That's how it was explained to me anyhow. Edited November 16, 2015 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I have twice applied for a 'one for one' variation, and each time I changed to a different calibre. You can also have this variation for the same calibre.
